Summer Family Get away

What a great week ! The property is beautiful and well kept and stocked. Plenty of room for the family. The downstairs was fun with the pool table. Had a few great games :) The main drive to the property was a little scary at first due to the incline and curves, but you have to remember to take the mountain roads slow. Had a walk by visit by momma bear and her 3 cubs one morning. Amazing views from the rocking chairs on the porch. Good location to amenities and attractions. Cindy , the owner, checked in on us and was available if needed. Would definitely recommend if you want a quite get a way and not in the heart of all the attractions

We loved our cabin. It wasn't too far up a mountain. We had a little trouble with the AC, but the owners were right on top of it. They were great, very friendly. The view was so beautiful.

Clean with amazing reviews!

We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean with a great view. This home was close to various trails and the many activities Pigeon Forge had to offer. Our group ranged from 4-62 years old and everyone had something to enjoy. The host was easy to work with and she reached out to ensure we had no difficulties or needs. I'd highly recommend this property and if traveling to this area, I would stay again!

Best Cabin in the Smokies!

We loved this cabin. It was just close enough to everything yet far enough so as not to hear car noise. I loved hearing the sound of nature as I had my coffee on the deck each morning. Breathtaking view! House was clean and well stocked for preparing meals. The best house we’ve ever rented in the Smokies. Cindy was so sweet and easy going. We’ll be back!

Fantastic place!

Amazing cabin! The owners made us feel at home with everything we needed and more. Location is perfect to get away from the traffic of Pigeon Forge, but only a short drive away. View was stellar and owners were very considerate and communicative. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Place to Stay

We booked this place a year ago for a family Christmas trip. We chose this place because we been to Sevierville before with our RV, the pictures and the space for 8. From the booking to the final email from Cindy everything was smooth. We had no issues finding the place and when we drove up, we were already blown away with the views. When we got into "A Sight to See" everything was perfect, the decorations and the views. We enjoyed sunrise with a cup of coffee or two. The pictures do not do this place justice. We had everything from clear skies to rainy weather and still is amazing view. Everything was perfect from the kitchen, the WiFi, the games, and the beds. We could not ask for a better place. I would highly recommend for a good place to explore the Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood. I would stay there again. Thanks again Cindy for all your support and the wonderful place to stay.

What a beautiful home!

My family just enjoyed a six night stay at this beautiful home! The home was immaculate and everything we needed was provided. The owners were even kind enough to check in and warn us about possible icy conditions. Our family is spread out across the country so the opportunity to get together and spend time at such a lovely home was an early Christmas gift to all of us. The views truly were spectacular! Thank you for this magical time.

Fabulous

This is a beautiful home with a spectacular view. We had the best weather during our trip and everything your stay could ask for. I would definitely come back. Even got to see a huge 275lb + black bear walking down the road and then down the hill. Very memorable stay and the family had a great time.

All that I dreamed of!

Everything about this beautiful mountain retreat was perfect from start to finish! It is spacious, immaculately clean, and had all needed amenities. I hoped for a spectacular view of the Smokies and was not disappointed. The two large decks provided a panorama unmatched. The perfect place to relax and refresh the soul! The owner Cindy communicated well and was always attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this extraordinary location! 🙂

Great property & Very Clean!!!

The property was just as described and VERY well maintained and clean. I travel almost weekly for my job and the high standards of this property are not as common as you would think. It was just as described and had an amazing view of Wears Valley. The owner was very easy to contact and informative of the process. I would highly recommend this property.

A Sight To See

This cabin is fantastic! Clean, spacious, and in a very quiet and peaceful location. The cabin is easy to find and access. The property was central to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Perfect location for a hike in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park or a day in Dollywood. I look forward to returning in the future!

Annual Girl's Trip

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Cabin was clean and furnished with everything we needed. The location was perfect, between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Hot tub was clean and perfect after a long day exploring. Beds were comfortable and it was quiet at night. Driveway was level and easy access. Saw plenty of wild life in early morning drives through Cades Cove. While there we went tubing, horse back riding, mountain coasters, hit both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Found plenty of local restaurants (we all agreed no chains) and live music. Check out The Abbey for craft beer and really good food and view. Don't miss Red Jasper Beer Garden-doesn't look like much but was really rustic by a small waterfall and wide creek. We would definitely book this cabin again.

The perfect mountain retreat

A beautiful house with the most spectacular view! We saw raccoons, bears and rabbits on a daily basis! Comfortable home with a clean hot tub and nice whirlpool tub. You will want to spend most of your time on the deck looking out at the mountains! Quiet road with very few people. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Truly "A Sight To See"

My family and I (4 generations) stayed the week of July 4th. We loved being able to sit on the deck and watching the many fireworks displays. The view was fabulous anytime of the day. We loved all that there was to do in the area: hikes, miniature golf, lots of shops to explore and great restaurants. The house itself had something for everyone: hot tub, pool table, jetted tub in bathroom and a dining room table big enough for all of us to sit around to eat together or to play games or work jigsaw puzzles. One of the highlights of our stay were the 2 bears we saw right outside the cabin. We knew our stay was going to be good when Cindy (the owner) contacted us the first night just to check in to see if we needed anything. We enjoyed it so much, some of my family talked about returning again in the future. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Erwin

We vacationed here several years ago and fell in love with the cabin, the beautiful views, diversity of outdoor activities, wonderful restaurants, entertaining shows, and multitude of shopping venues. We are a family who loves to spend time together. We are residents of Alabama but our family ancestry and heritage hails from Tennessee. We feel like we're at home when staying at our cabin.

Why they chose this property

This house has one of the best views in Wears Valley sitting high atop Hatcher Mountain with 180 degrees unobstructed visibility. We also love the comfort & beauty of the house itself. Finally, the location of the home is ideal because of it's seclusion and proximity to Pigeon Forge, Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and Gatlinburg. We never want to leave but we enjoy sharing our special mountain getaway with others. We want our guests to have the same experience as we do when we stay in the Smokey Mountains!

What makes this property unique

Our location high atop Hatcher Mountain makes this cabin unique because of the beautiful unobstructed views of Cove Mountain and Wears Valley. The comfortable rocking chairs on our large wrap-around deck allow you to sit back and relax with family and friends in complete privacy. The air is so clean and refreshing! We love grilling out on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub, or listening to music while watching the sun set over the mountain skyline. The early morning yields spectacular views above the mist covered valley floor. It's truly a magical experience!
